Spain's Double Standards Policy
The article discusses the contradictions in Spanish positions regarding the territories of Ceuta and Melilla. Madrid refuses to open a discussion about their status, considering them Spanish lands, despite historical references to colonialism and calls for a review of Gibraltar's situation. The Kingdom of Morocco views the two cities as symbols of a colonial legacy that has not been definitively resolved. Spanish policies are characterized as selective, especially when they align with national interests—such as the migration issue, which has become a political tool used to escalate tensions. The article emphasizes the need for Madrid and Rabat to adopt a relationship based on trust and mutual respect when dealing with migration and security matters, moving away from reactive responses and extremist rhetoric. It also advocates for avoiding the exploitation of these issues for political gain. Furthermore, it states that the relationship between the two countries requires adherence to principles and international agreements. The threat of applying the principle of self-determination to various regions should be approached rationally and transparently, rather than clinging to outdated colonial stances. The article urges Spain to make clear choices between its colonial past and a logic of sustainable partnership with Morocco.
